Help please.
Any recommendations (ideally based on personal experience) to get the keypad unlocked on an old Nokia, preferably in or near Brighton?
Note that this is not to unlock the phone from a previous network provider - it is simply to get past the keyboard lock.
The background is that my 90 year old mother-in-law is in hospital after a serious fall. She would like to use her phone, but is confused as to what the code is to unlock the keypad. When asked, she gave two wrong answers - the phone is now saying that a third wrong number will lock the phone completely. I am not interested in a factory reset, as I would not want to wipe her contacts (I have no idea if they are saved to the phone or the SIM - I would guess that is likely to be a mixture of both).
She has given me the phone, and asked if it can be 'repaired'. I am happy to travel if needs be, but I would imagine that there must be a decent phone repair shop somewhere between Hove and Eastbourne, that one of the many people here have used for a similar problem. The phone is a Nokia 6303i, I believe. Happy to remove the keyboard lock, or set it to '0000' or similar, once I can get past the keyboard code lock.
Thanks in advance for any helpful assistance - and I'm sure that someone will be able to plaice a fish pun somewhere along the line, even if they know nothing about phones
